NOW Lue question was, NnhG ul0

relate? The detective copied them,
took them away with him, meditatcd
over them far into the night. He
reached no satisfactory conclusion.
Next day he went to see NJ Bouloy.
"Monsieur," he said "wkAt do you
take these figures to signify?'
''It is very hard to say" "All that
strikes me is that 1T is all addition of
il, 400 francs and 27O frances
Under what circumstances would
you add figures together in that Way?"
the detective asked.
M. Bouloy smiled.
"Ah," said he, chow could l tell I'M

'Now / have it. One or the other
of those parties had 7,4OO francs on
deposit somewhere, and on drawing it,

Roquepine went on tour of the
banks where deposits were usually
made. On this day in the Rue de
Manbeuge he found a small private
bank, the cashier of which found that
January 20, 1866, Nine. Fourcy had
drawn from the bank the sum OF IT,
400 francs, leaving on deposit 1927
francs, and that the interest due to
her on the whole deposit was 27O
francs and some confines.
f. "Where does Nine. Fourcy reside?"
asked the officer.
"Her address as given to us is No.

''Did she usually come herself to the
banks" asked the detective.
''She came herself as q rule, but she
was accompanied by young man."

Roquepine, and departed.

lCeylon correspondence Baltimore Sun.
The annals of the Cingalese are said to
contain historical record of events EXTEND
ing back over period of twenty odd centu-
ries. These, with extensive ruins, such for
instance those of the ancient cities of An
uradhapoora and PaIonnaruwa, which are
known to have been Inhabited as much as
twenty-three hundred years ago, show that
the island was originally very thickly settled
by partly civilized and very energetic peo-
pie. The frst-named city was the capital
of the island for over twelve hundred years
after the fifth century B. G. In the fourth
century B. G. the annals of Ceylon record
that the city was presented with Buddha's
begging dish, bis collar-bone and branch
of that celebrated Bo tree under which he
attained to Buddhahood. Nothing now re-
mains of this ancient city but mass of
ruins, crumbling tombs and the tree men,
toned above. This relic of centuries has
been hourishing for nearly twenty-five hun
dred years, and is consequently the oldest
living tree in the world of which we have
any genuine record. 1t is one of the most
sacred objects throughout the entire Budd-
hist world, and it is esteemed virtuous act
on the part of the pious to make pilgrimage
to it. Its fallen leaves are considered great
treasure and are frequently carried to Siam,
Buamrh, China and Japan by pilgrims from
those countries

New YORK, March 2S.-The Sun has dis
covered some condolences and perhaps clues
in regard to the Railway murder. A woman
who viewed the body at Railway and said she
recognized it but would give no information
was followed to this city and went to 1928
East Thirty seventh street. She could not
be found there when the reporter called, but
the neighbors said Mrs. Gregory, who lived
in the rear of the tenement had been over to
New Jersey. It will be noted that this name
corresponds with that of the man arrested at
Railway. A Sun reporter also learned that a
Timothy Byrne lived at 21S East One Hun
dred and Eighth street. This is the name on
the rubber stamp found in the girls satchel
The reporter hunted Byrne up and found
him in a saloon. When he spoke of the
murder Byrne became greatly agitated and
said he knew the girl and her name was
Mollie Thomas. He was partly intoxicated
and what he said did not seem of much i'm
portance. He suddenly accused the reporter
OF being detective and refused to say more
about the case
RAILWAY, N. J., March 2s-In the pocket

House No. 10 has been run for some time as
gambling den by Dave Lannahan and Ned
Flanagan. The place was raided by officers
of station No. few weeks ago and lately
the proprietors have been heard to complain
that business was very dull. This afternoon
Albert Albrecht, druggist at the corner of
Harrison avenue and Broadway extension,
went to the house with quite quantity of
money in his possession and engaged in a
game of faro with the proprietors. About
four O'Clock the other occupants of the
house were startled by the sound of several
pistol shots followed by groans from the
room where the men were at play. When
officers arrived on the scene few moments
later they found Lannahan lying dead on the
foer with blood oozing from bullet wound
through his head and Flanagan lying near
by unconscious with shot through his
breast, his left eye shot out and several
wounds in the head Albrecht stated that
the proprietors had attempted to rob
him and were the point
of clubbing him to death with
iron bars wrenched from the
windows when in self-defense he drew his
revolver, shot Lannahan dead and riddled
his partner with bullets. In confederation
of Albreeht's statement there lay on the floor
two iron bars which had been torn from their
places in the window casing. There were no
witnesses. Flanagan was taken to the hos
pital and will probably not survive the night.

BOSTON, March 2S.-A Washington special
to the Traveller says: The President has re-
ceived a large number of applications through
senators and representatives and others ask
ing for the appointment of persons for pla-
ces on the Pacific railroad investigation com
mission. Senator Macpherson, who was the
author OF the resolution calling for the in
quiry from the Treasury department to the
effect of the proposed legislation extending
over the period during which the Pacific
railroads were to be allowed to settle their
Indebtedness to the government, and who
charged that the Hoar bill was in the inter
est of the roads and if passed would give
gratuity of millions to these corporations, has
taken q very deep interest in the success of
the investigation and has had several
conferences with the President concerning
the composition of this commission. He
recommended ex Governor Leon Albeit of
New jersey, who he claimed, is eminently
qualified for the important duties. The
President said to-day that after a careful
inquiry he had determined to appoint ex-
Governor Albeit. Governor Albeit in New
Jersey has been regarded as an anti-railway
man and his defeat for tbs senatorship was
largely attributed to that fact, but Senator
Mac Pherson and the ex- Governors other
friends assured the President that he was able
and honest and would deal fairly with all in
terests involved. The President having deter
mined to appoint ole Republican on the
commission, and DESTROYS of giving recogni-
ton or Senator Cullom which he was unable
to do in the composition of the inter State
commerce commission, sent for the Senator
and inquired whether he could suggest Re
publican to fill one of these places. The
Senator replied that he had person in view
|Swhom he thought would be peculiarly fitted
for the place and named David Little, of
Illinois. The Senator left last night and will
confer with Mr.. Little and his friends in
